Community Fundraisers

Community Fundraisers

From time to time, we at Good Shepherd will coordinate efforts with others to host and/or sponsor fundraising events to meet the needs of others outside of our church. One example of this is a recent fundraiser we did for a single mother who lost two limbs and most of her face in a motorcycle crash. In coordination with the St. Tammany Twirlers, Thrivent (a non profit financial services organization) and the LCMS Southern District, we held an event that featured food, homebrewed beer, and square dancing lessons. All of the proceeds were donated directly to the woman maimed in the crash to meet her needs. We raised over $2000.00 for her cause.

The event was fun and festive and there were over 70 in attendance at the event! The sense of community and the presence of the Lord working in our lives was abundant! The volunteers that made the event possible will tell you it was an incredibly rewarding experience for all involved!
